The idea of being a "good person" speaks to the reality of human relationships and perspectives. No matter how kind, thoughtful, or well-intentioned you may be, everyone sees the world through their lens, shaped by their own experiences, biases, and emotions.
You may be a hero in one person's story and a villain in another's, based on circumstances and their personal viewpoint.
People are as complex as you trying to find your way out of a maze while also being imperfect. Even the most virtuous actions can be misinterpreted or viewed negatively. Sometimes even doing the right thing for one person means hurting or alienating someone else.
You can't live your life seeking universal approval because it's impossible. True growth happens when you prioritize your values and integrity over how others perceive you. Being true to yourself may also mean disappointing others, and that’s okay.
Wow nice.
